I actually know that routine, I'm a huge Lewis Black fan. Something about taking offense at friends asking "really?" when he orders another drink at a bar. "That's right, shithead! I'm gonna have another drink, because the dogs are still barking in my head." The whole thing is one of my favorite stand-up…

I'll go crazy for Antonio Gates scoring a couple touchdowns.

On the contrary, it's cool as long as people designate which is the sex area and which is the snack area.

Right you are, Ken!

WELL YOU'RE WRONG!

I have to say, I can relate to the whole Kevin Garvey thing of "listening to music at deafening levels in order to internalize pain and block out the outside world." Although at the time I was just dealing with social anxiety, not the existential crisis of a Sudden Departure. Great music choice with The Pixies too.…

Speaking of which, the subreddit that lets you buy used panties must be really popular over there. I mean, the one I've heard of…

Uhtred himself seems like he could be a very complex character, and it'll be cool to see how he progresses as the story goes on. Also, the ending to this episode was incredibly soul-stirring, and…

I think "Blindspot" is actually doing moderately okay with its ratings…well, by NBC standards anyway.

Seconded!

Insubordinate, churlish, rude…and smelly.

Score one for @BikeKike:disqus!

Heyooooo! Thank you @avclub-5e5e0bd5ad7c2ca72b0c5ff8b6debbba:disqus, for my first ever CL points! I'm getting even more excited about this than fantasy football. For this season, I figured there was only so much interest in "needless movie-to-TV adaptations where main character solves weekly cases" to go around. Glad…

Paul Mooney continues to be not only hilarious, but also prescient.

I think Declan's assault on Michael (ouch, by the way) is perhaps the most important storytelling decision of the entire series.
